FACTS IN CASE
"Today, two abducted Hindu girls (Mavi & Badal), who were abducted/kidnapped from village Rehmatullah Arain, Tehsil Matli, Dist: Badin, were presented at High Court Hyderabad by abductor Mir Muhammad Arain. According to the petition filed for protection/defense, Both of these Hindu girls were kidnapped from their homes on 27th November, 2014, at 3:00AM (dawn) and on the same date they married to Mir Muhammad and Khameeso Arain after accepting Islam at Residency Place of Peer Ayoub Jan Sarhandhi, Samaaro.
On the same date 27th of Nov, 2014, an FIR was lodged against kidnapping of these girls at P.S Gulab Laghari, Teshil Matli. According to their parents, kidnapped girls’ age is in between 13-14 years and I also saw these two girls at High Court Hyderabad, they are minor girls in look. While in Nikaah Naama which is submitted in High Court, the date of birth of Mir Muhammaad Arain is 1952 (62 years), who has married to a minor girl of age 13/14 years. Today, the girls could not presented before the judge for the statement so both parties (parents & abductors) went back. According to the hired advocate of abductor, these Hindu girls will be presented in the honorable court for their statement on Monday, Dec-01-2014. So I also informed the parents of these girls must present in the court on that date."

WHY IS THERE IS A REASON TO HAVE CONCERN?
"This is 10th HIndu Girl aged about 13 years old Namely Parwati Kumari kidnapped on gun point from Samaro District Umerkot by three four muslim boys who belongs to the Khaskhleli Community. in last 2 months & again same story repeated . Girl was kidnapped , Convert & and married with Muslim Boy . Story is same with all Hindu girls , only names & cities are changed .
That it is better to mention here that after read order of Honorable High court Hyderabad we have no hope of justice and there is no any remedy before Pakistani courts.
That, it is very shocking to know that, in the era of democracy and bureaucracy, at the time of speaking media, at the assurance of speaking orders of Hon’ble superiors courts and ear splitting slogans of human rights, and the proclamations of equality, brotherhood, peace and tranquility and condemnation of discrimination on the basis of caste and creed but all remained silent when we suffered our sisters kidnapped on gun point."

The current condition of the families of these victims is devasting. After a brief conversation of Advocate Veerji Kolhi I have been advised that he will be returning to the High Court to address the forced conversion and abduction of these minor girls. Protests and public media coverage will be arranged to return these girls to their parents unharmed and that their marriages be cancelled due to falsification of birth certificates to establish marriageable age. There is no justification for the abduction of these girls. International Civil Rights Alliances and Human Rights Agencies will be notified! This case will be made public to the attention of the International Community as Crimes Against Humanity and a violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights! Change comes with individual effort! Civil Society must demand the enforcement of laws protecting Religious Minorities living in Muslim countries. The international community can no longer tolerate the abduction, forced conversion and marriages of Non Muslim girls! Their birth certificates are on the record that clearly determine their ages! The evidence is present and the abductors should face punishment to the full extent of the law!
